Heard that some want to prevent him from getting classified briefs after leaving office

[question everything]

On Face the Nation, I think. Why should he get any briefings as a has been?

[OnDoutside]

1. Apparently done as a courtesy. So that's that. It would be fairly odd

to be interested now, after 4 years.

[catrose]

7. People around him might be more interested, though

People who couldn't get a security clearance without his help

[OnDoutside]

12. No doubt, which is why I would be shocked if the courtesy was

extended to him.

[MineralMan]

2. He's already wearing Depend briefs.

I don't know if they're classified or not, though...

[niyad]

9. You nearly owed me a keyboard!

[MineralMan]

10. LOL!

[question everything]

15. That too..

3. Give him disinfo. We'll know if it gets sold

[catrose]

8. Excellent

[renate]

4. Would there be any rules against giving him fake PDBs?

He’ll sell whatever is in them to the highest bidder—that’s pretty much a certainty—so is there any reason not to just give him “information” the US wants its enemies to believe?

22. If they give him the same briefings Biden gets...

They'll go way over his head
No way he'll understand

[Renew Deal]

5. He definitely shouldn't.

Him and his crime family cannot be trusted with confidential information.

[njhoneybadger]

6. Sounds like a good way to trap him.

[Brother Buzz]

11. They could feed him headlines from the tabloids dressed up as a PDB and he'd be totally satisfied

[BusyBeingBest]

18. Exactly. Read him shit from the Weekly World News.

He won't know the difference.

13. It's my understanding that in the past former Presidents were sometimes

consulted by the President in office for insight or advice on certain matters. By having access to intelligence briefings, they would be up to date on the latest details of the situation.

I can't imagine anyone needing or asking for Trump's advice or insight on any matter. Personally, I think he would divulge state secrets to our enemies if they approached him.

[Chemisse]

14. He'd probably put them up for auction.

It would be ludicrous to let him get briefings.

[MagickMuffin]

16. Feed him false info to see how fast Putin acts on it

That's what I would do.

[Iggo]

17. Orally.

No notes or recordings.

He'll stop showing up on day two.

[Hotler]

19. I think no president should get classified breifings after leaving.

That's how inside trading can happen. They can watch the news like everybody else.

[question everything]

20. Agree. There can be cases when the new president would like to consult a former one

and would provide supporting documents but not as a general rule.

[Hotler]

21. I agree but, to pass them out as a, hey FYI in case your interest

type of thing is a no.
